Franciscan EXPRESSCare offers flu shots while they last
CROWN POINT Franciscan Point Saint Anthony Health Complex offers the public an inexpensive gift of health this holiday season.
The Franciscan EXPRESSCare unit, located in the new Franciscan Point complex at 12800 Mississippi Parkway (near the intersection of Interstate 65 and U.S. 231) has more than 100 flu shots available, according to Janet Doms, clinical director of the Saint Anthony Emergency Department.
“It’s still not too late to get one,’’ Doms said. Flu season runs through March and peaks in January and February. The vaccine becomes effective about two weeks after the injection.
Vaccinations are available, at a cost of $20, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
Among its services, EXPRESSCare offers treatment by board-certified physicians for flu-like symptoms, colds, sprains, strains, nausea, cuts and minor allergic reactions. Appointments are not needed; walk-ins are welcome. Most insurance plans are accepted.
